The 360 meter long Husemannstrasse runs in a south-north direction and connects Wörther Strasse at Kollwitzplatz with Danziger Strasse . It crosses Sredzkistraße half way .

history

It was initially planned as Strasse 36, Section XII ; when it was built in 1877, it was named Hochmeisterstraße after the Hochmeister , the highest office in the Teutonic Order . However, construction did not start until 1885.

On January 31, 1952, Hochmeisterstrasse was renamed after the resistance fighter Walter Husemann . A hairdressing museum has been located in house number 8 since 1987. It belongs to the Stadtmuseum Berlin Foundation and moved to Alt-Marzahn in the spring of 1995 . The Museum Berliner Arbeiterleben around 1900 was housed in house number 12 between 1987 and 1995 and was cleared in 1995. Since then, parts of the exhibits have been on view in an exhibition at Dunckerstrasse 77. In the rooms of the former museum there is now a meeting place for senior citizens from the Pankow district and a day care center for Wald und Wiesen e. V.
